title: Imaging problems in obstetrics.
abstract: Ultrasound has become a vitally important contributor to obstetric management. If undertaken at an appropriate time and by well trained staff, it can provide accurate knowledge about gestational age, fetal growth and condition, and also fetal normality. This information allows the obstetrician to give optimal care and ensure the best possible outcome of the pregnancy.
